Congrats on your first bike! F2's are great bikes. Post a pic up for us.

Have you taken the MSF Course? Motorcycle Safety Foundation Many of us here highly recommend the course. Take some time to look into it.

Be safe out there.

Welcome to the forum!

Welcome! I hope you're cruising the new member and how-to on street survival skills
sections. You'll get a lot of great tips/ideas for honing your riding skills there.

+1 on the MSC class, helps your insurance and could save your life.

Speaking of which, the #1 killer in our club is an in-attentive motorist or SPEED.
It's hard, we can all testifiy to that, but keep your throttle down on the streets.
I know your mother has already told you this, but if you won't listen to her (what
the heck does she know about motorcycles!?), listen to US! If you are going more than
20 over the posted speed limit, you are going TOO FAST. Check out the public
track-days at your local race-way if you want to find the limits of you and your machine.

Enjoy the thrill and live to tell about it. ;-)

Ern

very clean f2. its a long wait till spring. but its a nice time to learn a lot about your bike. as for your first bike, be smart about riding it, there is a lot of morons on the road that are trying to hit you ( not paying any attention ) i didnt believe it until i started riding a lot. now, i almost get rear ended almost once a week. always look in the mirrors when slowing down, look for a way out of the situation before it happens.
